RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Sale of Future Receipts. Merchant(s) hereby sell, assign, and transfer to UFS (making UFS the absolute owner) in consideration of the funds provided (“Purchase Price”) specified above, all of each Merchant’s future accounts, contract rights, and other obligations arising from or relating to the payment of monies from each Merchant’s customers and/or other third party payors (the “Receivables”, defined as all payments made by cash, check, credit or debit card, electronic transfer, or other form of monetary payment in the ordinary course of each merchant’s business), for the payment of each Merchant’s sale of goods or services until the amount specified above (the “Receivables Purchased Amount”) has been delivered by Merchant(s) to UFS. Each Merchant hereby acknowledges that until the Receivables Purchased Amount has been received in full by UFS, the Specified Percentage of each Merchant’s Receivables, up to the balance of the Receivables Purchased Amount, are the property of UFS and not the property of any Merchant. Each Merchant agrees that it is a fiduciary for UFS and that each Merchant will hold Receivables in trust for UFS in its capacity as a fiduciary for UFS.
The Receivables Purchased Amount shall be paid to UFS by each Merchant irrevocably authorizing only one depositing account acceptable to UFS (the “Account”) to remit the percentage specified above (the “Specified Percentage”) of each Merchant’s settlement amounts due from each transaction, until such time as UFS receives payment in full of the Receivables Purchased Amount. Each Merchant hereby authorizes UFS to ACH debit the specified remittances from the Account on a WEEKLY basis as of the next business day after the date of this Agreement and will provide UFS with all required access codes and monthly bank statements. UFS is not responsible for any overdrafts or rejected transactions that may result from UFS's ACH debiting the Specified Percentage amounts under the terms of this Agreement, unless Merchant gave UFS prior notice that such ACH would be rejected.
2. Additional Fees. In addition to the Receivables Purchased Amount, each Merchant will be held responsible to UFS for the following fees, where applicable:
A. $4,500.00 - origination fee. This will be deducted from the payment of the Purchase Price.
B. Blocked Account/Default ‐ $2,500.00 ‐ If there is an Event of Default under Section 30.
C. Court costs, arbitration fees, collection agency fees, attorney fees, expert fees, and any other expensesincurred in litigation, arbitration, or the enforcement of any of UFS’s legal or contractual rights against each Merchant and/ or each Guarantor, if required, as explained in other Sections of this Agreement.
3. Estimated Payment . Instead of debiting the Specified Percentage of Merchant’s Receivables, UFS may instead debit $5,823.53 (“Estimated Payment”) from the Account every [week/day]. The Estimated Payment is intended to be an approximation of no more than the Specified Percentage, subject to reconciliation.
4. Reconciliations. Any Merchant may contact UFS’s Reconciliation Department at any time to request that UFS conduct a reconciliation in order to ensure that the amount that UFS has collected equals the Specified Percentage of Merchant(s)’s Receivables under this Agreement. A request for a reconciliation by any Merchant must be made by giving written notice of the request to UFS or by sending an e-mail to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ stating that a reconciliation is being requested. In order to effectuate the reconciliation, any Merchant shall produce with its request the statements covering the period from the date of this Agreement through the date of the request for a reconciliation and, if available, the login and password for the Account. UFS will complete each reconciliation requested by any Merchant within two business days after receipt of proper notice of a request for one accompanied by the information and documents required for it. UFS may also conduct a reconciliation on its own at any time by reviewing Merchant(s)’s Receivables covering the period from the date of this Agreement until the date of initiation of the reconciliation, each such reconciliation will be completed within two business days after its initiation, and UFS will give each Merchant written notice of the determination made based on the reconciliation within one business day after its completion. If a reconciliation determines that UFS collected more than it was entitled to, then UFS will credit to the Account all amounts to which UFS was not entitled and, if there is an Estimated Payment, decrease the amount of the Estimated Payment so that it is consistent with the Specified Percentage of Merchant(s)’s Receivables from the date of the Agreement through the date of the reconciliation. If a reconciliation determines that UFS collected less than it was entitled to, then UFS will debit from the Account all additional amounts to which UFS was entitled and, if there is an Estimated Payment, increase the amount of the Estimated Payment so that it is consistent with the Specified Percentage of Merchant(s)’s Receivables from the date of the Agreement through the date of the reconciliation. Nothing herein limits the amount of times that a reconciliation may be requested or conducted.

A photocopy of this authorization will be deemed as acceptable for release of financial information. UFS is authorized to update such information and financial profiles from time to time as it deems appropriate.
9. Monitoring, Recording, and Electronic Communications. UFS may choose to monitor and/or record telephone calls with any Merchant and its owners, employees, and agents. By signing this Agreement, each Merchant agrees that any call between UFS and any Merchant or its representatives may be monitored and/or recorded. Each Merchant and each Guarantor grants access for UFS to enter any Merchant’s premises and to observe any Merchant’s premises without any prior notice to any Merchant at any time after execution of this Agreement. UFS may use automated telephone dialing, text messaging systems, and e-mail to provide messages to Merchant(s), Owner(s) (Owner being defined as each person who signs this Agreement on behalf of a Merchant), and Guarantor(s) about ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇(s)’s account. Telephone messages may be played by a machine automatically when the telephone is answered, whether answered by an Owner, a Guarantor, or someone else. These messages may also be recorded by the recipient’s answering machine or voice mail. Each Merchant, each Owner, and each Guarantor gives UFS permission to call or send a text message to any telephone number given to UFS in connection with this Agreement and to play pre-recorded messages and/or send text messages with information about this Agreement and/or any Merchant’s account over the phone. Each Merchant, each Owner, and each Guarantor also gives UFS permission to communicate such information to them by e-mail. Each Merchant, each Owner, and each Guarantor agree that UFS will not be liable to any of them for any such calls or electronic communications, even if information is communicated to an unintended recipient. Each Merchant, each Owner, and each Guarantor acknowledge that when they receive such calls or electronic communications, they may incur a charge from the company that provides them with telecommunications, wireless, and/or Internet services, and that UFS has no liability for any such charges.

RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Each Merchant and each Owner signing this Agreement represent that he or she is authorized to sign this Agreement for each Merchant, legally binding said Merchant to its obligations under this Agreement and that the information provided herein and in all of UFS’s documents, forms, and recorded interview(s) is true, accurate, and complete in all respects. UFS may produce a monthly statement reflecting the delivery of the Specified Percentage of Receivables from Merchant(s) to UFS. An investigative report may be made in connection with the Agreement. Each Merchant and each Owner signing this Agreement authorize UFS, its agents and representatives, and any credit‐reporting agency engaged by UFS, to (i) investigate any references given or any other statements obtained from or about each Merchant or any of its Owners for the purpose of this Agreement, and (ii) pull credit report at any time now or for so long as any Merchant and/or Owners(s) continue to have any obligation to UFS under this Agreement or for UFS’s ability to determine any Merchant’s eligibility to enter into any future agreement with UFS. Any misrepresentation made by any Merchant or Owner in connection with this Agreement may constitute a separate claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation. Authorization for soft pulls: Each Merchant and each Owner understands that by signing this Agreement, they are providing ‘written instructions’ to UFS under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, authorizing UFS to obtain information from their personal credit profile or other information from Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. Each Merchant and each Guarantor authorizes UFS to obtain such information solely to conduct a pre-qualification for credit. Authorization for hard pulls: Each Merchant and each Owner understands that by signing this Agreement, they are providing ‘written instructions’ to UFS under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, authorizing UFS to obtain information from their personal credit profile or other information from Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. Each Merchant and each Guarantor authorizes UFS to obtain such information in accordance with a revenue-based financing application.
11. Transactional History. Each Merchant authorizes its bank to provide UFS with its banking and/or credit card processing history.
12. Indemnification. Each Merchant and each Guarantor jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Merchant’s credit card and check processors (collectively, “Processor”) and Processor’s officers, directors, and shareholders against all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorney and expert fees) incurred by Processor resulting from (a) claims asserted by UFS for monies owed to UFS from any Merchant and (b) actions taken by any Processor in reliance upon information or instructions provided by UFS.
13. No Liability. In no event will UFS be liable for any claims asserted by any Merchant under any legal theory for lost profits, lost revenues, lost business opportunities, exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages, each of which is waived by each Merchant and each Guarantor.
14. Sale of Receivables. Each Merchant and UFS agree that the Purchase Price under this Agreement is in exchange for the Receivables Purchased Amount and that such Purchase Price is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as a loan from UFS to any Merchant. UFS is entering into this Agreement knowing the risks that each Merchant’s business may decline or fail, resulting in UFS not receiving the Receivables Purchased Amount. Any Merchant going bankrupt or going out of business or experiencing a slowdown in business or a delay in collecting Receivables will not on its own without anything more be considered a breach of this Agreement. Each Merchant agrees that the Purchase Price in exchange for the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement equals the fair market value of such Receivables. UFS has purchased and shall own all the Receivables described in this Agreement up to the full Receivables Purchased Amount as the Receivables are created. Payments made to UFS in respect to the full amount of the Receivables shall be conditioned upon each Merchant’s sale of products and services and the payment therefor by each Merchant’s customers in the manner provided in this Agreement. Although certain jurisdictions may require the disclosure of an Annual Percentage Rate or APR in connection with this Agreement, those disclosures do not change the fact that the transaction encompassed by this Agreement is not a loan and does not have an interest rate. If a court or arbitrator determines that UFS has charged or received interest under this Agreement in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law, then the rate in effect under this Agreement will automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and UFS will promptly refund to Merchant(s) any amount received by UFS that would otherwise be considered interest in excess of the maximum lawful rate, with it being intended that Merchant(s) not pay or contract to pay and that UFS not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇(s) or received by UFS under applicable law.
15. Power of Attorney. Each Merchant irrevocably appoints UFS as its agent and attorney-in-fact with full authority to take any action or execute any instrument or document to settle all obligations due to Merchant for the benefit of each Merchant and only in order to prevent the occurrence of an Event of Default, or, if an Event of Default has taken place, then each Merchant irrevocably appoints UFS as its agent and attorney-in-fact with full authority to take any action or execute any instrument or document to settle all obligations due to UFS from each Merchant, including without limitation (i) to collect monies due or to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral (which is defined in Section 33); (ii) to receive, endorse and collect any checks or documents, in connection with clause (i) above; (iii) to sign each Merchant’s name on any invoice or assignment directing customers or account debtors to make payment directly to UFS; and (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceeding which UFS may deem necessary for the collection of any of the unpaid Receivables Purchased Amount from the Collateral, or otherwise to enforce its rights with respect to payment of the Receivables Purchased Amount.

|
|
|
| (2) | Any Merchant fails to send bank statements, merchant account statements, or bank login information for the Account within three business days after a written request via email for same is made by UFS and the merchant isn't otherwise in good standing with the terms of this Agreement. |

|
|
|
| (4) | Any Merchant causes any ACH debit to the Account to be stopped or otherwise returned that would result in an ACH Return Code of R08, R10, or R29 and that Merchant does not within two business days thereafter either (a) provide UFS with written notice thereof explaining why that Merchant caused the ACH debit to be stopped or otherwise returned or (b) provide a new means or method of remitting to UFS the Specified Percentage of the Receivables belonging to UFS, which notice may be given by e-mail to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. |
If any Merchant goes out of business due to economic failure, is not otherwise in default of this Agreement, and provides UFS with written notice of the closure within two business days thereafter, then such closure will not be deemed an Event of Default.
31. Remedies. In case any Event of Default occurs and is not waived, UFS may proceed to protect and enforce its rights or remedies by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for the specific performance of any covenant, agreement, or other provision contained herein, or to enforce the discharge of each Merchant's obligations hereunder, or any other legal or equitable right or remedy. All rights, powers, and remedies of UFS in connection with this Agreement, including each Protection listed in Section 16, may be exercised at any time by UFS after the occurrence of an Event of Default, are cumulative and not exclusive, and will be in addition to any other rights, powers, or remedies provided by law or equity. In case any Event of Default occurs and is not waived, UFS may elect that Merchant(s) be required to pay to UFS 25% of the unpaid balance of the Receivables Purchased Amount as liquidated damages for any reasonable expenses incurred by UFS in connection with recovering the unpaid balance of the Receivables Purchased Amount (“Reasonable Expenses”), UFS will not be required to itemize of prove its Reasonable Expenses, and all Merchant(s) and all Guarantor(s) agree that the Reasonable Expenses bear a reasonable relationship to UFS’s actual expenses incurred in connection with recovering the unpaid balance of the Receivables Purchased Amount.

Each undersigned Guarantor hereby guarantees each Merchant’s performance of all of the representations, warranties, and covenants made by each Merchant to UFS in the Agreement, inclusive of all addenda, if any, executed simultaneously herewith, as the Agreement may be renewed, amended, extended, or otherwise modified (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor’s obligations are due at the time of any breach by any Merchant of any representation, warranty, or covenant made by any Merchant in the Agreement.
G2. Guarantor Waivers. If any Event of Default has taken place under the Agreement, then UFS may enforce its rights under this Guarantee without first seeking to obtain payment from any Merchant, any other guarantor, or any Collateral, Additional Collateral, or Cross‐Collateral UFS may hold pursuant to this Guarantee or any other agreement or guarantee. UFS does not have to notify any Guarantor of any of the following events and Guarantor(s) will not be released from its obligations under this Guarantee even if it is not notified of: (i) any Merchant’s failure to pay timely any amount owed under the Agreement; (ii) any adverse change in any Merchant’s financial condition or business; (iii) any sale or other disposition of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) UFS’s acceptance of the Agreement with any Merchant; and (v) any renewal, extension, or other modification of the Agreement or any Merchant’s other obligations to UFS.
